The violet hold

The village Tourrettes-sur-Loup is placed upon a hill surrounded by ramparts, offering stunning views of the landscape while protecting the sacred ice cream.

Turn of the centuries

The charming village features narrow medieval streets with beautifully vaulted passage-ways.

The ice cream is my guidance

The village is nicknamed 'Cité des Violettes' as the flower has been grown here for a century. Violet stuff can be seen everywhere and they are well-known for the violet sweets. I just couldn't resist trying the glace violette et sa fleur cristallisée, which is violet ice cream with a violet caramel on top.

Village people

Despite the name of the town there are unfortunately no wolves running around shouting profanities.

This town had a lot of strange decorations in their numerous roundabouts, but this one was by far the largest.
